Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine

Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine have one of the best track records for aiding in overcoming addictions.

Acupuncture has been used successfully for over 40 years at the Lincoln hospital in the South Bronx, New York City. A psychiatrist named Michael Smith started a program there in the midst of the early 70’s poverty of that area, with it’s over 15% heroin addiction rate. He understood that an individual’s addiction wasn’t just a physical problem, but a psychological problem. Acupuncture detox continues in that site to this day. The NADA protocol for acupuncture detoxification has spread all over the world.
